Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hello everyone, I saw the insurance company's Explanation of Benefits for upper surgery. The hospital bill was almost $14,000 and the surgeon bill was almost $6,000. My primary insurance, PacificSource, was quick to deny the claim because it is excluded. PS's policy is the worst! I think every appointment I've ever had has been excluded for one reason or another. I'm hoping my secondary insurance, United Healthcare, pays the claims. I have the pre-approval letter from UHC, so I'm hoping they will really pay for it, except the $100 co- pay. I wonder what it would cost for surgery to remove the hardware. If you've had the hardware (titanium screws and plates) removed... Why? How long did you have to wait before the surgeon removed it? Do insurance companies usually pay for this type of surgery? ~ Swanson Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
